Just a note, I’m only reviewing it as a night club/bar. Not a restaurant. Never been here for food before. What to say. .. . well it’s okay. The first time here, Frog’s was awesome. After that, it just was, well, a place to pass the time. I assumed there’d be more of a Latin tinge to the music, but this was not the case. Which is fine, but still. .. it’s a Mexican place, but maybe that’s just me expecting too much? The music, well, it was so-so. The crowd? Military, definitely, a lot of military boys lookin’ for a quick hook-up. I love the security though, every time I’m there, they got my back. The best place to dance? On the top stage, where there’s usually a security guy. Sometimes its girls only — a safe haven for girls who just wanna dance and not get molested on the dance floor. The DJ? Ah, could be better, but could definitely be worse. A cool guy though. Tip for a request, but unfortunately, he couldn’t fulfill my Reggaeton/Salsa/Merengue requests, as he had a total of like what? 3 to 5 reggaeton songs, which he’d already played and one Tono Rosario jam? LOL But I got to hang in the DJ booth, talk story, and request other music, for free, all the while he was apologizing and saying he was not a Latin DJ. I just said hey you’re in SENORFROGS — Isn’t this a Mexican place? He just laughed. Oh well… The Bar? Not bad, seems like if your tits aren’t hanging out, the male bartenders won’t come to you first. At least that was my impression the last couple times I went. Which was recently. I club comfortably, because I’m not there to impress anyone, I’m there for music. Doesn’t mean I wear a sack over my head, just means, I don’t look like a hooker showing my tits and ass or midriff in 5 inch heels. I generally wear jeans. Needless to say, it took a while to get a damn drink. The Bathroom? Kind of weird and dirty. They are trying to hard to make money off of bathroom crap. I can understand trying to sell maybe, some feminine products, but the rest is like chaos. You can’t even get to the soap on the counter because all their ‘for sale’ stuff is blocking the damn way. It’s kind of like, really? I just want some soap! The stalls were kind of dirty too, toilet paper everywhere, not a lot of maintenance going on throughout the night. You’d think with someone sitting in there. .. but maybe that’s a different job description. .. union issues? Although I’ve definitely seen worse, I still had to put down a few layers of toilet paper on the toilet seat. It was kind of dirty in there. Yikes. All in all, it’s ok. I think depending on when you go, it’s hit or miss. Too bad the last couple times have been more of a miss. ..

Um, if you’ve ever been to a frat party in your lifetime then you’ve been to Señor frog’s. True story. When we first got there, it was PACKED so we immediately went to the bar. It was their 5th year anniversary so I guess they decided that having a simulated sex positions contest would be the perfect way to celebrate… Yes. So that happened. 3 couples who didn’t know each other, went on stage and simulated as many sex positions in 30 seconds and whoever did the most or whoever the crowd liked won. That should explain this bar completely.

SCUM Dont go here, the ratio is about 30:1, the guys act like dogs in heat… Oh and when a fight breaks out, dont expect the bouncers to help break up the fight, they will likely be throwing the punches, ask my girl friend who now has a black eye thanks to a bouncer.

Never again. After a wonderful dinner at Kimukatsu, we were looking for a kickass bar to have a few to end the first night of staycation. Instead, we find this dump. — strange music mix, even stranger people«dancing» — $ 10 cover? *scoff* — terrible crowd — drinks not good — dirty bathrooms with bathroom attendants This place is such a joke, cannot believe this place gets any business. If there’s one thing good I can say about this establishment, its that the bartender to patron ratio is high. Other than that, avoid at all costs.

Señor Frogs is located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center on the third floor. We had a $ 50 gift card to this place given by a friend so we decided to use it for dinner. They open at 11:30AM and serve lunch and dinner. We arrived a little after 7PM and there was no wait to be seated. The menu has a fairly decent amount of options to choose from(tacos, nachos, quesadillas, fajitas, salads, soups, chicken, steak, and ribs, etc) so it took us a while to order. I’m not usually a fan of this type of food because I’m suuuuper picky and usually omit 8⁄10 of the ingredients(which kinda defeats the purpose of eating it)… but I kept reminding myself that we had a free gift card so what the hell. In between battling my indecisiveness the wait staff went onto the stage and sang and did this dance… it kinda came outta no where and was a bit awkward. I was trying hard to focus on what to eat and then BAM the loud music and yelling and singing comes in… the people in the restaurant who were buzzing/drunk enjoyed the show but I thought it was kinda over the top in a cheesy way but the staff looked like they were having fun so that was kinda cute… I think. Anyway back to the food. Appetizer: Chicken quesadillas/$ 12. Basic chicken and cheese quesadilla with sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and something else that I can’t remember. Portion was small. Taste was meh. I think I’d rather order the $ 3 quesadilla from Taco Bell. Seriously. $ 12?! Thank God we had a gift card. Entrees: The BF got the authentic mexican platter/$ 19(recommended by the server). This includes: a NY steak, jalapenos stuffed with cheese, mexican rice, refried beans, chicken tacos, pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole. The steak was juicy, tender, and cooked as ordered. The stuffed jalapenos were interesting… that’s the best description I can give em. But you can only eat one and then after that you feel like you’re going to throw up.(TMI I know, sorry!) It’s heavy, oily, heavy, and oh did I mention oily? The rest of the order was meh. No flavor. Mexican rice was overcooked and bland. Refried beans looked unappealing. Chicken tacos were nothing special and super oily. He ate half the steak and a stuffed jalapeño. I got the beef and chicken fajitas/$ 19. It comes sizzling and accompanied with sour cream, pico de gallo, mexican rice, and guacamole. It also comes with onions, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, and beans. I opted for flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas. Okay remember I said I was picky? Remember I said I usually omit 8⁄10 ingredients? Here’s what I omitted. No onions. No red bell peppers. No green bell peppers. No beans. No pico de gallo. No mexican rice. No guacamole. So basically I have a chicken and beef fajita with sour cream. I asked for lettuce and cheese instead of the other ingredients. See what I mean? I could go to Taco Bell and get this for a quarter of the price. Anywho… yes, the plate came out sizzling, but the chicken AND beef was overcooked. Too tough. There was no sauce or the meat wasn’t marinated in anything so it lacked taste. And I added my sour cream, lettuce, and cheese and was… not impressed. I barely ate anything. It was mediocre. And the portion size of meat? Small. Almost $ 20?! SMH. Again, thank goodness we had a gift card! The food took forever to come out. Or it seemed. But we seriously waited a long time for our entrees to be served. Sometimes if the food is really good, the wait is worth it. In this case, the wait was not worth it. Our server was nice and around until we got our food. Then he kinda disappeared. Mind you we’ve been waiting a while to get our food and eat… and the restaurant was getting fairly busy and a bus full of Japanese tourists was dropped off and I swear there were like 30 – 40 of them so the place was PACKED. Server still M.I.A. Finally he comes around and we decline dessert(and a box, YUCK, you can have this unfortunately mediocre food), and then it takes a good 30 minutes for our check. Luckily I was people watching, otherwise I would’ve lost my patience and found a manager. But again, I wasn’t «technically» a paying customer as I had a gift card. Did I mention it earlier? Thank God I had a gift card. I would’ve been pissed to actually PAY for this food. Mediocore food. Poor service. Okay atmosphere. Sorry Señor Frog’s, we WON’T be back. Best thing about dining here? Taking a picture with the frog downstairs. :)

I actually have never been here during the day to eat food so the only thing I can speak intelligently about Frogz is Wednesday night. No cover and the house is packed. You’ll find many buzzcuts on their off hours, locals, Japanese tourists, and Scandinavian English students. Many of the ‘locals’(and I mean girls) are transplants from the mainland. The patios on the two sides are pretty spacious. The covered one closes to the elevator has an extra bar and is usually the most packed. The other side closest to the stage generally has seating but the lighting is pretty bright so you don’t get the Creeper in the Night effect that so many of these people love. What do you mean these people? There are definite regulars there. Trust me. You go out enough, you’ll see the Waikiki regulars, haha. Don’t these people have jobs? FYI: –The hype man starts pouring ‘shots’ in your mouth around 11:30pm. Have a fake birthday celebration so you can be featured on stage(guys or girls). –Drink specials are served in 6 ounce/tiny cups –Everybody loves being on stage –Great place to pick a fight and get rolled by the bouncers(never a problem for me) The decrease in star is because I’ve been here enough and other places enough to know better now. Haha

Decent bar. CLEANLINESS: 4⁄5 SERVICE: 3⁄5 FOOD: N/A We stopped by here after walking around the main strip. Hawaii doesn’t seem to have a big nightlife(or we were looking in the wrong places). This place was alright. The décor was interesting, and I think it’s a bar/restaurant. The drinks are nothing to rave about, but they did taste good(but not strong). The place was never packed, but maybe we went on a wrong day.

Free entry Wednesdays. They have a live DJ, cheap happy hour shots, and they even do free shots but it has to be poured into your mouth on stage in front of everyone. They have an outside balcony where you can chill. They have tables out there too if u want to sit. Inside, you can either dance on the dance floor or even on stage. Crowd is majority non-asian, good thing to me lol This place can get pretty packed, especially packed with drunken people who can hold themselves up. I got stepped on a few times and what pissed me off was that it was the same couple that did it. I told them off…

Way too much hip hop played and the guy to girl ratio is awful. The few girls are on the dance floor ABC(already being creeped) The selection of beers for their famous«big ass beer» is limited to bottom shelf selection from any local liquor store.

$ 1.00 drinks on Wednesday, $ 2.00 beers/$ 4.00 wells on Monday — ask server for beers tho, drink specials after 10pm. Workers were really cool and service was fast. I didn’t try the food just drinks. They kept me very entertained especially considering it was a Monday night. Plus, they did this skit on stance that I thought was pretty cute.

$ 3 shots and loose girls! Not impressed with the ambiance and the staff. What’s most annoying is that people refer to this place as «Senior Frogs». This is not a retirement home for aging amphibians and I’m sure the Spanish speaking community would agree. Tourist crowd and a few locals. I’ve never had a great experience in the 4 times I’ve been here.

Not great food, awful service. The food was nothing special, my burger was way over done when I had asked for medium. Service took forever and they were terribly uninterested. It was not as if they were busy either, there were only two other tables at the time. Maybe as a bar it would be fine, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a restaurant.

Despite the 2 ½ star rating from the over all reviews, I decided to give this place a try because I won a gift certificate at the baby expo. We received good service that day. Our server was very attentive, kept our drinks filled, pre-bussed our tables, and made sure we were happy. We ate lunch at 1:30 pm. There was no wait at the door and we were seated immediately. We were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. Initially I asked to sit indoors, but after a few minutes I noticed it was quite hot. I asked to be seated outside, our server happily obliged. It was much cooler and we had a better view of Waikiki. We were given free chips with salsa. All of our food came out right away and served hot. I ordered the beef nachos. Though I liked the presentation the nachos were okay. There wasn’t that much flavor in the beef. I also ordered a margarita. The name of the margarita is Señor Frog’s. You could choose different sizes from just a taste to Las Vegas strip size. I decided with the 10 oz glass that cost $ 5.95. It had chunks of ice and didn’t have much flavor, I was disappointed. My son ordered from the kids meal. It was a good portion size(2 corn dogs), well seasoned French fries, and he enjoyed his meal. My husband ordered some sort of shrimp platter. I forgot the name of the dish. The rice was a bit bland. The vegetables were good. The shrimp was okay. There are a lot of different restaurants around Waikiki to try that has great service, fantastic food, and a nice ambience. If your really in a hurry and need a quick bite to eat then this place is alright.

Came here meeting some friends for NYE. $ 20COVERCHARGEFOR A HOLIDAYEVENT? BS. I mean, ok, maybe my date should pay, but I was freaking smoking hot that night(at least according to my date –smile-) The crowd was also not very balanced or fun. It was just a bunch of macho guys all trying to show off their mus-kills(muscles). Good thing the baskets of popcorn were free.

Came here for some dancing during one of the nights we were in hawaii. Pretty spacious place. I think I would have enjoyed it more if there were more girls and I wasn’t so tired from going to the place down the street first. I like how there was a dance floor just for girls and if the guys get too excited the guard kicks them off the dance floor. Also liked how they play music videos along with the songs.

I have ended up here a couple of times late night and have always wondered why me?! Usually it is because someone I am with wants to dance and hears the music as we pass by after hitting a few other places. The first time I came here was actually kinda fun, they were playing decent music and I was relatively drunk so we enjoyed dancing a bit. The last couple of times has been much less fun and not due to my level of sobriety. Music has been garbage and the ratio of douchebags to chicks has risen. Bartenders were unimpressive to me, got the vibe that they thought they were rock-star-god’s-gift-to-women of some sort and the female bartender couldn’t even make a lemon drop that didn’t make us gag. I quickly got bitter after paying my $ 10 cover, seriously, I had wanted to walk away because of that. At least don’t charge the ladies! Anywho, I don’t know if I could physically get that drunk to want to go back to Señor Frogs. Adiós!

Don’t go for the food. Or the service. The only reason they rate 2 stars, rather than 1, is due to the amusing décor and high-energy choreographed intervals of entertainment. It’s hard to take the Frog out of Cancun, and even harder when you’re trying to appeal to all audiences – and suiting none. They don’t seem to know whether they’re a family restaurant, a bar, a club, or just some place you stop for a bite to eat. But it just doesn’t hit the mark on any front, no matter how hard they try. Whereas I used to enjoy the spicy pseudo-Mexican entrees, since they changed their menu to mainstream American fare, there’s not much of a reason to go anymore. It’s bland, overpriced, and you have to shout your order to the server before they invariably get it wrong anyway. My preschooler begs to go because she loves the inflatable frog and balloon hats inside… Other than that, I struggle to find a way to recommend this place unless you’re on vacation and just want somewhere offbeat to go get hammered.

So. many. frat. daddies(apologies to those in the Greek system but you know who I mean.) Lots of backwards baseball caps, lots of creeper vibes, lots of … blegh. It was a $ 10 cover on a Friday night and our last option after striking out at Zanzibar and Lotus(they were 18 and up, no thanks, I don’t want to dance with high school seniors!) Ample seating space and pretty cheap mixed drinks and even fruity $ 3 shots plus it was a cool enough space. But it just doesn’t make up for the crowd there that night. One girl was literally taking«boots with the fur» seriously, it’s Hawaii! Wth? Music was so-so, a mix of popular Billboard hits but sprinkled with some super random, hard to dance to songs. There’s a small stage and the dance area is small and the guys seem to like to stand and stare at the girls which definitely is not my scene. One guy swooped in on me when my friend went to the bathroom and asked ‘why are you ladies all alone?’ and I just bluntly said ‘don’t worry about it.’ Señor Frog’s croaks.
